SEE THE EIFFEL TOWER

Built for the 1889 World Fair, this iron tower stands at 324 meters tall, and while there is a cost for going up to the viewing platform, the views back over the city from this landmark are truly impressive. You can also admire this landmark from the nearby parks which are great places for a picnic!

NOTRE DAME

This iconic cathedral is one of Paris’ most distinctive landmarks, and while it may not currently have a hunchback, it is an amazing example of French Gothic architecture that has been at the heart of religious life in the country ever since it was completed in 1345.

PARIS MUSEUM PASS

While all visitors to Paris can explore the city’s museums for free on the first Sunday of the month, this pass provides access to over sixty museums for two, four or six consecutive days, and is great value.

BOULEVARD ST. GERMAIN

Paris is famous for its cafe au lait and the best place to try one is at the Boulevard St. Germain on the 6th arrondissement. The broad tree-lined boulevard is lined with designer boutiques, prestigious cafes, and classic brasseries.

CHAMPS ELYSEES

This busy street is lined with trees on both sides and is a spectacular way to approach the Arc de Triomphe. It’s also a wonderful shopping and dining street and is home to the climax of the annual Tour de France cycling race. It is a true sight to behold.

RENT A BIKE WITH THE VÉLIB’ BIKE RENTAL SYSTEM

Paris is surprisingly bicycle friendly and renting a bike is a wonderful way to explore the city. While short rides of up to half an hour are free, even renting a bike for up to two hours is a great value.

PARIS UNDERGROUND STREET ART TOUR

While the city is most famous for its classical art, a vibrant street art scene is also present. This tour provides a great introduction to the artists that operate around the city and some of their most distinctive pieces.

PACK A PICNIC AND SIT BY THE SEINE

The Seine is a romantic river that winds its way through the city. Making a picnic and enjoying a nice spring or summer afternoon by the Seine is a great way to enjoy the city and to watch the locals go about their daily lives.

SEE THE CATACOMBS

Having once served as stone mines for the city, the tunnels beneath much of the south of Paris are home to the remains of over six million people. The tour takes visitors through two kilometers of these tunnels.

PANTHEON

Just like Rome, Paris has its own pantheon in the Latin Quarter. The building was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve. Today, it’s the final resting place for many of Paris’ famous scientists, generals, writers, churchmen, and politicians.
